    Thumbs up CDD is a sponser on the sight

    i contacted CDD through this sight about some uppers and other parts.

    if you contact Mike directly i'll bet you can cook up a deal. check out the member sales fourm--he has a spot up there for blemished CDD lowers--

    last time i looked mike had a CDD lower complete for $230 shipped--

    add in a complete cdd d4m-le upper and your good to go.


    i recently used a cdd d4m-le upper in my last build --although with a LMT bcg.

    the damned thing is digesting all my hard to run wolf and mill surp ammo without a cough or hiccup.

    if you get a CDD--mile will see to it that your happy camper with it.

    The CDD D-M4LE is a real good place for your friend to start. It can be bought for between $950-1000 out the door. It has a lot of features you only find on higher priced rifles and has gotten real good reviews. The extra $100 he spends now will be well worth it later.

    I've been around this before.

    Your $850 rifle becomes $925 and the newbie doesn't like the extra cost from what was originally quoted.

    Not true. I got free shipping on all but the lower. I think I spent $5 cover charge for the gunshow and $2 in gas to get there to pick that up. I got both an LMT M4 upper with all the goodies with free shipping, and also a BCM middy with all the goodies, with free shipping from Bravo Company, on two separate occasions. All orders over $400 are free UPS Ground.

    Most places don't have all this in stock at once and don't have free shipping.

    I've heard lots of good things about the CMMG rifles. How do the STAG 2H models stack up?

    [QUOTE=.357sigger;213178I was thinking maybe CMMG or ADS.[/QUOTE]

    I have a CMMG. I would buy another. I special ordered mine, and it was $814, including shipping, plus $50 in CA fees.

    being a new guy to this community i must say that in the three days i have been a member i have gotten more great information without ever having to post my own questions. I probably will never have due to the endless great data provided here. Thanks to you all for the awsome knowledge.

    Well, at the complete opposite end of the spectrum is this Bushy (yeah, I know) A2 HBAR at $850 new, which came to about $920 with taxes. With upgrades to the BCG, etc. it would probably top the $1K mark. As an intro the the AR weapons system it's not a bad deal, but of course it has the fixed handguard which many (if not most) frown on.

    Just some well seasoned advice

    A gunsmith that works at the range I visit explained the following:
    A. All the money people spend on "tricked-out ARs is mostly a waste."
    B. The AR system is really quite simple and the more complex you make it, the more breaking points.
    C. They have several Bushmaster A2 & A3 16" ARs
    D. He showed me one that they lost count of rounds 2 years ago(at ~30k) and looks soot and used; moreover, they only clean it when it stops working (they are short on help)!
    This gun still shots good and is reasonably accurate as are all of their Bushmasters. What else do you want? This gun has been through hell and still is a good shooter. Save your money and buy a Bushmaster-our Police department swears by them.
    IMHO all these fancy fix-ups are just a $ gimmick. KISS.
    Do what you want, but my $ is on Bushmaster (great customer service, etc). No, I do not work for Bushy, I am a Scientist (I experiment with all things).
    Good shooting and please vote for McCain or we are screwed!!
